Passover went out with a bang this year. To celebrate the last matzo box making it into the trash, Saturday Night Live brought in an unexpected guest: Introducing podiatrist Billy Crystal as Jacob the Bar Mitzvah Boy’s dad!
The father-son duo came to explain why Passover is different from all other nights (Highlight: “The third reason Passover is different from other nights, is that we dip twice. I don’t know about you, but I always dip my food twice. Once in salsa, and once in guacamole!”). You do the math.
This is a moment of great uncertainty. Here’s what you can do about it.

This is a moment of great uncertainty for the news media, for the Jewish people, and for our sacred democracy. It is a time of confusion and declining trust in public institutions. An era in which we need humans to report facts, conduct investigations that hold power to account, tell stories that matter and share honest discourse on all that divides us.
With no paywall or subscriptions, the Forward is entirely supported by readers like you. Every dollar you give this Passover is invested in the future of the Forward — and telling the American Jewish story fully and fairly.
The Forward doesn’t rely on funding from institutions like governments or your local Jewish federation. There are thousands of readers like you who give us $18 or $36 or $100 each month or year.
Support our mission to tell the Jewish story fully and fairly.
